Charles de Gaulle


We drove to the airport to return the rental car



and got a room in the Charles de Gaulle Sheraton, one of the nicest hotels I've ever known.



Certainly the most sci-fi hotel I've ever known ...





The bed was a welcome sight, complete with robes and slippers.


the chaise lounge:


reflections in clouds:


There will be no dry skin or oily hair in this hotel room tonight ...


L liked that there was a telephone in the bathroom.


The view from the hotelroom window:




Tired though we are, and even though we're going to have to wake up early tomorrow for our return flight, we still came down to the lounge ...


to get online and drink champagne.

Next morning we woke early and ate at the Sheraton, then walked the few minutes to terminal E, which is beautiful and spacious, and makes you feel you're in a dream Mies van der Rohe is having about an endless airplane hanger ...


We boarded our plane and began our long journey back to the Nunnery...
